Master of Business Administration (Early Career) - Accelerated Track

San Jose State University

The MBA program provides a strong foundation of business concepts, models, skills, and methods with which to face immediate and future managerial challenges. The basic program aims at creating a general management (rather than a functional specialist) perspective. Pragmatic in approach, the focus is on problem analysis and synthesis, decision making, action taking throughout the functional areas of business, and understanding the international context of business. The Lucas Graduate School of Business prepares students through a broad curriculum of functional, cross-functional and integrative core courses, and elective courses. Program Delivery: The Early Career MBA program is tailored to students who have fewer than five years of work experience. Classes are conducted in a hybrid format with a mix of in-person classes on the SJSU campus and online classes. Classes meet during evenings and Saturdays in eight-week sessions during the Fall and Spring semesters and five-week sessions during the Summer semester. The Early Career Program offers three tracks that vary in length and pace: Accelerated Track (12 months), Full-Time Track (21-24 months), and Part-Time Track (33-36 months).
